God Has Spoken to Us

1 God, having spoken in former times in fragmentary and varied fashion to our forefathers by the prophets, ² has in these last days spoken to us by a Son whom he appointed to be the heir of everything and through whom he also made the universe. ³ He is the reflection^[a] of God’s glory and the exact likeness of his being, and he holds everything together by his powerful word.
